The FBCCI will arrange training for its chambers and associations. Therefore, FBCCI President Md. Jashim Uddin urged the trade bodies to make a list of the priority sectors needed to increase capacity.

The Federation Chief made the call at the first meeting of the standing committee on Capacity Building of member bodies held on Monday at FBCCI.

President of FBCCI and Director-In-Charge of the Standing Committee Md. Jashim Uddin informed that FBCCI is going to set up an Innovation Center to enhance the capacity of the private sector to deal with the challenges of post LDC, to achieve SDG-2030, Vision-2041 and other national development goals.  Necessary training will be arranged for various chambers and sector based associations through this center. President Md. Jashim Uddin said that to adapt to the changed world trade system and global supply chain and to utilize the potential of the 4IR, there is no alternative to increase the capacity of the private sector. Hence, an advisory panel with eminent economists, former government officials and policy makers has already been formed to transform the FBCCI into a research-based organization, he further informed.
